A part of what is being dubbed the ‘Size Issue,’ the editorial ‘Curves Ahead’ in V magazine features curvaceous beauties who don’t normally grace the pages of high fashion glossies. Photographed by famed fashion photographer Sølve Sondsbø, the models flaunted their scantily clad bodies.
Frequent Lady Gaga collaborator stylist Nicola Formichetti dressed models Candice Huffine, Marquita Pring, Michelle Olson, Tara Lynn and Kasia P in denim, leotards and other fairly conservative outfits for ‘Curves Ahead.’
